Lot 427: A Collection of Decorative Passementerie Tassel Curtain Tiebacks and Twisted Cordage
This lot comprises an assortment of traditional-style decorative curtain tiebacks and passementerie trimmings. The collection includes several pairs and individual tassel tiebacks featuring ornate knotted heads and multi-strand fringes. The cordage consists of thick, multi-strand twisted ropes in a variety of colours including gold, cream, burgundy, and variegated earthy tones. Some items incorporate metallic-effect threads for added lustre. One specific cord in a red and gold metallic twist resembles military-style dress aiguillettes. The materials appear to be a mix of synthetic and natural textile fibres. The designs are consistent with classical home furnishings from the late 20th century to contemporary periods. No manufacturer labels or maker marks are visible on the items.
Condition report:
The items appear to be in generally good, used condition. There is evidence of light tangling and minor surface wear to the cordage and tassel strands, consistent with being stored loose in a container. Sold as a job lot.
